Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 263 Don't get excited about what I'm going to say...

"It's not too challenging to choose one of the three suspects!"

As soon as this classic look came out, the identity of the prisoner was 100% confirmed, and Li Yan was a little discouraged.

Difficult ones are too strenuous, easy ones are too boring, there is no case that is both difficult and not difficult, easy and not easy, is that the case~
Not to mention Li Yan's thoughts, seeing Wu Liulang's reaction, Xu Sanlang and Yuan Dalang were stunned: "Wu is honest with you!"

Cheng Wuzhong's eyes showed evil spirits: "Brother Baiqi, we are as close as a family. When did we ever let you down, and you turned to the enemy?"

Wu Liulang burst into tears: "The commander treats us very well, it's me...I'm sorry for you!!"

Cheng Wuzhong said coldly: "Tell me, where are Zheng Sanlang and Guo Wulang?"

Wu Liulang lowered his head even lower, and said in a shy voice, "They've already been killed!"

Xu Sanlang was still stunned, while Yuan Dalang was completely furious: "You actually harmed your own brother! Wu Liu! You villain!!"

Cheng Wuzhong's chest rose and fell violently, he stopped Yuan Dalang who was about to rush over, took a deep breath and said, "Where's the corpse?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Liulang said: "In the secret passage... come with me..."

He stood up unsteadily.

Cheng Wuzhong put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, watching him warily as he turned the four furniture parts in the village master's house one by one.

With the rumbling sound coming from the ground, the entrance to the secret passage, which could not be found before, finally appeared.

Li Yan raised his brows, quite surprised.

False ancient secret passages: ingenious design, close-ups of various gears.

The real ancient secret passage: dig a narrow tunnel, and pave the entrance with thatch.

The secret passage that appeared now is so subtle that it looks like a fake.

And Cheng Wuzhong looked inside, his body flickered, his eyes were red.

Yuan Dalang looked at it with his head, and also let out a mournful cry: "Ah!!"

Because compared to the spotless interior of the village owner's house, after opening this secret passage, you can see a lot of blood and pieces of meat and armor fragments inside.

There was even a severed hand.

Cheng Wuzhong went down, looked at the broken hand, wrapped it in cloth, and said in a sad tone: "This cocoon... is Zheng Sanlang's right hand!"

Zheng Sanlang is a sharpshooter who shoots every arrow in a hundred horses, and is one of the best in archery. Looking at the severed hand, Xu Sanlang's staring eyes of the dead fish have quietly shed tears.

When the two imperial guards disappeared before, everyone still had some extravagant hopes. They were just trapped in a certain place, and nothing happened to them.

But now, there was no luck, and the two were killed after all.

When Cheng Wuzhong was in grief, his face became ferocious. He raised Wu Liulang with one hand and roared, "What is the reason why you are soliciting foreign enemies and murdering your own brother?"

Wu Liulang said in a low voice: "Leader, I am not worthy to be your brother. You can blame me for killing my colleagues and losing the magic crossbow. I will bear it alone, and it will never affect you!"

Cheng Wuzhong was furious: "You said that if you don't affect it, you won't affect it? My Baiqi has a traitor, so how can the Ministry of War, which regards Beiya as a thorn in its side, miss this opportunity to blame?"

Wu Liulang's face was painful, but he closed his mouth.

Yuan Dalang also rushed over, shaking his body: "Speak! Speak!"

However, no matter how much they questioned and scolded, Wu Liulang remained silent, and gradually showed a numb expression.

"This confession is not thorough enough. Shouldn't it be a bamboo tube pouring beans, and with the background music, expressing the sad motive of being forced to kill?"

Seeing the murderer's stubborn mouth, Li Yan was not surprised but pleased, his fighting spirit regained his pride, and he began to pace the house.

He turned around the spacious house of the village owner, especially the four organs that opened the secret passage, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked: "The two victims, are you proficient in the art of secret passage?"

Cheng Wuzhong replied: "One of them is good at archery, and the other is a rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs. They are brave and resourceful, but they don't know the art of mechanism."

Li Yandao: "That's strange. The procedures for opening the secret passage are so complicated. Since the two of them don't know the tricks, how did they find out?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Liulang's body trembled slightly, and his dull expression changed slightly.

Li Yan went on to say: "Wu Liulang, you are a member of the Hundred Riders. Of course, you can't be more clear. There are few elite members of the Hundred Riders. It is a big deal for two people to disappear for no reason. What's more, they lost the magic crossbow they carried with them. It is a serious crime, and others will definitely go all out to investigate it!"

"So if you attacked the two of them, something unexpected must have happened. In order to hide the secret, you had to do it."

"That's kind of weird."

Having said that, Li Yan walked over and pointed to the blood-stained tunnel: "These traces prove that the battle took place in the tunnel."

"At that time, you had already entered the secret passage. In order to prevent them from going further, you suddenly cut off Zheng Sanlang's hand, and at the same time severely injured Guo Wulang."

"You kill the two of them, and hand over the corpses to the responders in the secret passage, dragging them all the way to the depths."

"The above is a normal inference process based on the scene."

"The question is, how did this secret passage be opened in the first place?"

Hearing this, Wu Liulang's pupils shrank, and Cheng Wuzhong immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Wu Liulang wanted to speak sophistry, but thinking of the previous lie that would have to be covered by countless lies, he quickly pursed his lips and said nothing.

But it's useless if he shuts his mouth.

Li Yan continued: "Needless to say, there is actually only one possibility. Zheng Sanlang and Guo Wulang are not all innocent!"

Wu Liulang's expression changed drastically.

Li Yandao: "Leader Cheng, do you still remember that I smelled a scorching smell outside the village owner's house?"

Cheng Wuzhong nodded: "I remember, but no thief set fire."

Li Yandao: "It's not that no one set the fire. I'm afraid someone wanted to set fire to the house first, but then gave up for unknown reasons, and was forced to open a secret passage to cover up the secret."

"It's just that the man didn't expect that after he opened the secret passage, he happened to be bumped into by another Baiqi, and the two started fighting in the secret passage. At this time, Wu Liulang arrived!"

"Baiqi, who did not join the enemy, was overjoyed to ask for help, but he never expected that Wu Liulang, who came here, was also with the bandits. Together, they killed him."

"The above is the most reasonable guess based on the current clues."

After hearing these words, the complexions of Xu Sanlang and Yuan Dalang turned pale, and Cheng Wuzhong's body shook slightly.

The traitors have become two!

But he is the leader after all, knowing that if the facts are true, it is useless to escape: "What Li Jiyi said is reasonable, if two people besiege one person, it's no wonder that they can be silently silenced..."

Looking at the severed hand, Yuan Dalang said in a trembling voice: "Guo Wulang is also a traitor? He opened the secret channel and murdered Zheng Sanlang?"

Cheng Wuzhong took a deep breath: "The thief is not dead yet, he should have gone to deal with Zheng Sanlang's body, hurry up and call for someone, we are going to enter the secret passage to track down the enemy!"

Yuan Dalang pulled Xu Sanlang away, Cheng Wuzhong's expression became sad, and he came to Wu Liulang and said in a trembling voice: "Do you know that once you two betray, our entire Baiqi will fall into disloyalty?"

This is actually the same reason that Xiao Ling and Cui County Magistrate's defection during the Liangzhou case would make the central government suspicious of Jiangnan.

It can be said that a person's defection to the enemy is due to personal reasons. A rat droppings ruined a pot of soup, and what others hate is rat droppings.

But when many people join the enemy in an area, the nature is completely different. If you say that the soup is originally good, who knows?
Seeing Cheng Wuzhong, who has always been strong, showing this expression, Wu Liulang couldn't stop crying: "We are sorry for you! Sorry!"

This is obviously admitted, Cheng Wuzhong closed his eyes, and sighed: "It is our last chance to pay off the merits and sins! What is it because of, and what is the thief trying to hide? I will kneel down for you." No, just tell me, please!"

As he said that, he really wanted to kneel down, and Wu Liulang grabbed him in a panic: "Leader! Leader! Don't do this!!"

Cheng Wuzhong roared: "Then you are telling me!"

Wu Liulang shook his head again and again: "I can't say it, I really can't say it!"

Cheng Wuzhong was both soft and hard, and he couldn't even ask, so he had no choice but to bow to Li Yan: "Li Jiyi, please help us!"

Li Yan immediately stepped aside, grabbed his arm, and forced him up: "Leader Cheng, don't do this, I will ask why, Baiqi has won His Majesty's trust, and the treatment is excellent, rebellion is just an individual The situation...huh?"

Having said this, Li Yan suddenly stopped.

Because he watched the six directions with his eyes, Wu Liulang's cheek muscles suddenly twitched violently when he said that Baiqi was "excellently treated".

Why do you have this reaction?

Cheng Wuzhong also said before that Baiqi's family is divided into Tian Enshang, and there is no shortage of everything. Li Yan also believes this.

The Beiya is the personal guard of the sage, and Baiqi is the most elite trilogy in the Beiya, so the treatment is naturally the best, so that they can work together and work hard.

Could it be that……

Li Yan helped Cheng Wuzhong up, came to Wu Liulang, leaned over to his ear, and said something softly: "...Is that so?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Liulang finally nodded and said, "Yes!"

Li Yan said something again and confirmed: "...Is my guess right?"

Wu Liulang closed his eyes when he heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Yes!"

At this time, Yuan Dalang led the rest of the Baiqi elite into the house, waiting for orders. With them guarding the prisoner, Li Yan said to Cheng Wuzhong: "Leader Cheng, take a step to speak?"

Cheng Wuzhong said: "Good!"

The two came outside, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Li Yan pondered for a moment, and said, "Leader Cheng, don't get excited about what I'm going to say..."

Cheng Wuzhong's face turned blue, and when he thought of kneeling just now, he was also ashamed and annoyed. His self-esteem made him unwilling to lose his composure in front of this person, and said in a deep voice: "There are two traitors among our hundred riders, what else can compare to this What excites me more?"

Li Yan had always admired the calm demeanor of a general, so he said bluntly: "Your family's field has been taken."

"Hey!!"
